I had witchety grub pate on a wine tour in Western Australia once (Witchety grubs are a native source of food for Indigenous Australians - they're literally grubs).
Once I also asked for peppermint tea at a restaurant with honey on the side... the waitress obviously didn't hear me properly because the tea cup had pine nuts inside of it... and no honey to be seen....?
It was a salad but the dressing was from peanuts, other than that everything we eat nowadays is weird, either by texture, taste or smell.
papers I've chewed paper as a gum when I was a little girl.

I was in Japan a few years ago. Being fond as I was of Japanese food, I was willing to try anything and everything, but I was also in the habbit of asking what I was eating BEFORE I ate it.
When they brought up a platter of what appeared to be regular sashimi, I didn't bother asking what it was and just started eating. The sushi chef had a smug smile on his face, which made me ask him what kind of fish I was eating (which BTW was already half finished.)
"Ah... it is balloon fish!" he said with a big smile.
I dropped the piece i was holding in my chopsticks and asked "Balloon fish? Blow fish? Fugu desu-ka?"
"Hai! (yes!) Fugu desu! (It is fugu!)" Fugu is poison blow fish. If it isn't sliced properly, it's poisonus enough to kill a grown man.
I had a split second "oh sh*t" thought in my head. I wasn't able to check his fugu license, but what the hell, I already ate half of it, so I might as well finish it.
I'm still alive to tell you about it now, so I guess the sushi chef did have a fugu-license afterall.
Probably roasted grasshoppers-but they taste good!
Another Japanese story, although not a life threatening one, is my own experience with "fermented soy beans." It was a totally awful experience at first, just for the taste, but then I slowly realized I was craving it more and more - a lot like the taste of white truffles. Now I can't find them but can't get enough when I do. Oddest snack food ever.

Balut eggs...
if you watch fear factor then i guess you know what it is..
it is delicacy of Southeast Asia and especially the Philippines, a balut is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night. Their high protein content is complimentary to the consumption of beer. The word balut roughly translates to mean "wrapped".
you can actually identify and see the nearly developed duckling when you crack the egg open.
The weirdest things I've ever eaten is squid and escargot. The escargot (snails) was pretty tasty actually.
ostrich neck........I was in South Africa on a reserve, and they made the meals.......first it was the best carrot soup I ever had, then this meat that was like heaven, with some vegs, so I asked them and they said it was ostrich neck and showed me the whole thing. It was just like chicken and it was really good although I felt kinda bad eating it, but I was hungry and it wasn't like I had much choice LOL.....it looked just like a chicken neck or turkey neck only a couple of feed long and thick lol.....I had only the meat no bones at all......
Squid.
